Abstract

In a correlational study employing four groups of campers it was shown that each of several performance estimates made by group members of each others' behavior predicted sociological status as independently determined by a participant observation method. The multiple correlation between the predictor variables and group status was significant and high (.79). A second finding, demonstrating a curvilinear relationship between the degree of a member's status and the consistency with which his performance was estimated, supported the theory on which the study was based, and also led to a discussion of a relationship between individual cognition and the formation or alteration of such social products as group status.
